Swelfre Solution

Swelfre solution contains Diclofenac, Methyl Salicylate, and Menthol. It belongs to the non-steroid anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and is used to relieve joint pain associated with arthritis. Arthritis is characterised by enlargement and sensitivity of one or more joints, marked by joint pain and rigidity that typically increase with age. Diclofenac works by inhibiting the release of specific chemical messengers in the brain responsible for pain and inflammation, which causes redness and swelling. Methyl salicylate and Menthol are topical analgesics that produce an initial cooling sensation followed by warmth. This cooling and warming action enhances blood circulation and provides pain relief through distraction.
